This Can Only End Well

there is, in fact, a “platonic explanation for this” if you’re not a coward

its so fun to see the diversity of tags on this ranging from “they’re literally just standing next to each other” to “deep bonds dont have to be romantic/sexual!” to “yeah friends can fuck nasty, platonically. coward.” we’re all so correct, there are, in fact, a million platonic explanations for this

I just made a new sideblog and found out this setting (found under “Edit Appearance”) is disabled by default.

Edit: Tumblr settings are unpredictable and devious. This may not be disabled by default for you. People have also said that their themes have been removed. Please look to the notes if experiencing complications.

This means that ALL new blogs will NOT have a [username].tumblr.com page. Not only that, but they will not have any themes besides the mobile-default.

As someone who really likes custom themes and Tumblr still having a fully customizable profile page, please turn this on!

  • You can make a website for your tumblr blog that is entirely your own!
  • Finding posts on your URL.tumblr.com page is much easier due to the ability to use your Archive and url.tumblr.com/tagged/[tag] pages!
  • Visiting your mutual’s tumblr pages will become much more fun if they do the same! I used to always associate blogs with the themes they had, but that’s sadly not possible anymore :(
  • If Tumblr themes die out, it will truly be an end of an era for the internet, and the future will hold only mobile-orientated, endless-scroll design devoid of personality.

Even if you don’t like themes, this is a move that almost destroys Tumblr’s origin as a blogging website and showcases the takeover of social-media-sameness.

Having your own URL and custom theme is fun! Try it today!!!

Edit: I focused on promoting custom themes but I do encourage people to simply turn on this setting for the URL. You can pick a free tumblr theme or even leave on the tumblr mobile-orientated default!

Also sorry I didn’t think of this until now, but there are versions of this post in the reblogs without the colored text, with extra information, with how to find this setting, and troubleshooting why it might not be working!

Miguel sits on a table and types on a keyboard in front of an orange holographic screen. He wears a loose turtleneck and glasses. In the background is a slack message from Miguel in the channel #gizmo-backend-pd-team.Miguel sits on a table and types on a keyboard in front of an orange holographic screen. He wears a loose turtleneck and glasses. In the background is a slack message from Miguel in the channel #gizmo-backend-pd-team.ALT
Miguel sits on the same table in front of the same screen and is visibly more frustrated. He is hunched over with one hand on his head, pushing his glasses up. His brow is furrowed, a vein is visibly bulging, and he sneers at the screen. He has brought out a tablet with a chart on it and holds a stylus over it. He is now joined by a small Lyla, who crosslegged on his shoulder and titters, Peter B. Parker, who brought his pink bathrobe and a coffee mug and rests his head on one hand and has the other hand working on a modern laptop, and Margo Kess, who taps a stylus on her chin and looks at her own holo screen with a thoughtful expression. In the background are now a Slack message from Peter, a stack overflow answer from 13 years and 8 months ago, and a terminal window filled with red error messages.ALT
Miguel has started biting the table out of frustration. He is biting so hard that there are visible teeth marks on the table. His eyes are showing red. Lyla sits in her previous spot, frozen with a loading circle on top of her. Margo has faceplanted into the table. Peter has thrown his bathrobe over his head and is visibly exhausted. His coffee mug has been joined by 2 other coffee mugs and 2 disposable coffee cups. Lego Spiderman has joined them and sits next to Miguel with his own holo screen. In the background are: - 1 slack message from peter - 1 slack message from Miguel - 1 terminal window covered in red error messages - 1 zoom call with spidercat and 4 other peter parkers - 1 stack overflow answer from 13 years, 8 months ago - 1 stack overflow answer from 25 years, 6 months ago - 1 splunk log dashboard - 1 intellij window, also covered in red error messages - and numerous other windows that we can't seeALT

10 spidey engineers vs one (1) bug, who wins?

Historical reproductions should be more widely available. I want an ancient Roman shrimp ring more than anything.

I DON’T want the real thing. I want an affordable reproduction I can wear places and make people ask “what’s up with the shrimp ring?” and I get to explain that nobody really knows. It was just a fun fad 1900 years ago.

Ancient Roman seafood crime boss making you kiss his shrimp ring to swear loyalty

“Squillae cimexorum est”, he says.

“Squillae cimexorum est”, you mumble reverently.

the common name “fools gold” for iron pyrite is funnier than we give credit for. imagine scientists discover a new metal and they’re like “We’re calling this Copper for Idiots”

Also known by it’s scientific name Ea-nāṣirite.
